Applications for 2023 Public Service Endowment Grants of up to $15,000 for one-year projects are now being accepted through Dec. 5, 2022. Full-time UMass Amherst faculty and staff are eligible to apply. 

Proposals should focus on mutually beneficial collaborative partnerships between the university and off-campus community organizations and propose special projects and related scholarship to address a problem or need and/or build capacity. The use of these non-renewable awards should leverage campus and community resources and create opportunities for sustained engagement after the grant period ends.  

Information about the program and how to apply is available here  or by contacting the Office of Research Development at ord@umass.edu.
